Sea invasion in Senegal: let us save the children

Since the fury of the waves unleashed on the riverside houses along the beach of Saint-Louis causing the displacement of hundreds of families in shelters of fortunes outside the city.
the situation of the affected populations is getting worse and that of the children who are most affected in this disaster.
At present, we are in winter and the rains came overwhelmed their situation. Torrential rains have torn apart several tents that serve as their dwelling place and the entire inhabited area is flooded in an indescribable way.

At this moment, the Hope Youth Association is helpless in the face of this catastrophe that overwhelms the children who are the most affected and the most invisible. because we raised only $ 70 for this well thought out project that can save hundreds of children.

We are once again appealing to the entire Global giving community to support these children in the grip of sadness and despair.

In this report we have attached a touching video filmed by an online newspaper in the city of Saint-Louis, showing the desolation and despair of the affected populations who feel betrayed by the government that made them many unrealized promises. this video is in Wolof (local tongue) and for those who do not understand Wolof then the images of the video are very explicit.

Since the last disaster of the advancing sea at Saint-Louis in Senegal, hundreds of people have been displaced in temporary tents at the end of the city of Saint-Louis.

The staffs of Association Jeunesse Espoir have visited the victims in the tents to cheer them up but also to make them aware of the opportunity for help and support that we want to do for them through this project posted on GlobalGiving.

Thus we proceeded to the census of 347 children of victims aged 0 to 12 years living in tents and whose needs in education, nutrition, diapers,  hygienic kits is desperately lacking.

Unfortunately, Association Jeunesse Espoir has not yet been able to take action to relieve and solve these problems of these children affected and with  uncertain future due to the fact that the project has  raised only $ 70 with three donors.

Association Jeunesse Espoir is very grateful to the donors who have helped to support these children who have been affected by the devastating advance of the sea, and encourages and invites the Fantastic Globalgiving community to support these children for their right to a decent childhood and for their hope. for a better tomorrow.
